10/10 Exceptional

Hotel and staff were lovely. Showers are a nightmare though, the design is terrible as they just leak constantly all over the floor.
Der, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed at the hotel as I was attending a birthday party in nearby Earls Colne. The hotel was easy to find and location to the village was excellent. Staff were so helpful from check in to check out. Was a slight issue with my room during my stay but this was sorted expeditiously by the duty manager and housekeeping. Would recommend a stay here and would certainly stay again next time I visit the area.

One nights stay

Room was a bit dated, no usb sockets and no power sockets. Bedside table to one side of bed only which was odd. Bathroom dated and would benefit from refurb. Staff friendly and helpful.
Mr Kevin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good place to stay if you want access to road links. Golf course is busy and the lawn mowing starts at 7am so if you want a lie in that's not always an option.
